A Substitute for Nitro-Glycerine:

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Jou rnal
In shooting well in the usual way there is as
much chance of obstructin gas there is of
breaking loose the rock that prevents its escape.
Would it not be much better to lower a sufficient
amount of nitric acid to soften and dissolve the
rock in the bottom, and give any confined gas
within reach of the well a chance to break into
itq Some days since a sample of the rock, at the
depth of eleven hundred feet. was sent to me for
inspection. / found it would dissolve in a few
minutes in nitric acid, giving off enough gas to
burst the strongest bottle. From this sample |
am of the opinion that few gallons of nitric
acid introduced in small quantities would open
a vast cavity in the bottom of the WE'LL and this
would be widened and deepened ny additional
acid If too much is put in at time 1t will be
dangerous to the operators above.

According to his usual luck the general was
absent when the battle of Malvern Hill began.
With the changed front, Porter's corps was
on the left. Skirted in an oval around NAL
vern Hill were the other Federal troops: Couch's
division on the right Of Porter, next Kearney and
Hooker, next Sedgwick and Richardson, next
Smith and Slocum, then the remainder of keyes'
disposition of troops.
The Confederates were in close pursuit. At
o'clock their advance was seen. They were ranged
in this order: Magruder and Huger on the Con-
federate right, while circling afte. them to the
left were Jackson, Ewell, Whiting and D. II.
Hill. Longstreet and A. p. Hill in the rear,
too weary to fight
The Confedcrates had been ordered by Gen.
Lee to charge with q yell" il the Federal line
was broken Next, they were to advance with
fixed bayonets and drive the invaders into the
James," But the shouting did not come of.
Gen. Arrnistead, who was to carry out this part
of the programme, advanced to point where he
could not come on or go back, and his troops lay
down upon the ground to escape the artillery fire.
The first attack was made upon Porter and
Couch Morell's division of Porter's corps and
Couchs division of Keyes' bore the brunt Of the
battle.
The Confederate plan was to take Malvern Hill
by assault. But tier after tier Of Union artillery
rose above the heads of the Confederates and
poured deadly fire into them. The Federal gum
boats In the river aided the artillery the hills,
and the Confederates were driven back with
slaughter and confusion. Three desperate as-
saults were made upon the hills in vain. With
the darkness the broken Confederates drew Off
and gave up the fight. The day was decided by
the tiers of Federal artillery among the hills.
Once more, July 2 McClean's generals be-
lieved that he could have advanced and taken
Richmond. But he did not. On the contrary he

only, of all the Federal managers, was not de-
ceived by the ruse, but declared that Jack
sons real movement was toward Richmond.
Everybody was undeceived when, June 28,
Mcclellan hastily autographed that his pickets
were being driven in north Of the Chicka-
hominy.
Until then, day after day, it had been tele-
graphed to Washington, aAn quiet In
the army of the Potomac So bent on
having additions to his army had Nc
Clellan been that June 10 he had tele-
graphed Secretary Stanton, advising
that q considerable force be detached from
Halleck's western department. and sent to
him. Long before this, early in March. NC
Clellan had been relieved from duty as com
mander Of all the armies Of the United States,
and made commander only Of the army OF
the Potomac. This was done, 1t was claimed
by President Lincoln, In order that the
general might give all his time to the war in
Virginie. Mcclellan regarded 1t as humilia-
ton, and says: 1.-THE order proved to be one
of the steps taken to tie my hands in order to
secure the failure Of the approaching cam
paisn.n He believed that 1t emanated from
Secretary Stanton, and was issued out OF
spite
There was at that time no commander in
chief Of all the armies, There were three In
dependent departments, With Mcclellan In
the east or Potomac department, Fremont In
the central one, called the mountain depart
ment, and Halleck over that west Of the
Mississippi, called the department Of the
Mississippi.
From the time he made the brilliant cavalry
